Steven Spielberg’s UFO Movie Breaks Cover With Title, Teaser, and First Details
Steven Spielberg is returning to the skies: Universal just dropped the first teaser, official title, and early details for his 2026 UFO film — the director’s first since The Fabelmans — starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, and more.
Steven Spielberg just dropped a teaser for his new UFO movie, and it finally has a name: 'Disclosure Day'. It is his first film since 'The Fabelmans' in 2022, and Universal is set to put it in US theaters in 2026. The vibe? Mysterious, unsettling, and very much Spielberg.
So what is 'Disclosure Day'?
Until now, this thing has been locked up tight. The teaser opens on Emily Blunt as a TV meteorologist doing a live broadcast when she suddenly starts speaking what sounds like an alien language. Not a little slip — full-on otherworldly. From there, she appears to team up with Josh O'Connor on some kind of mission to tell the world a truth they are definitely not ready for. Colin Firth and Colman Domingo pop up in the footage too, though what they are doing is still anyone's guess.
If you are getting shades of 'Arrival', 'Signs', or even Nic Cage's 'Knowing', you are not wrong. But it is Spielberg, so expect it to swerve into its own lane once it gets going.
'If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to...Disclosure Day.'

What the teaser is really selling
The big hook is that live, can-you-trust-your-own-eyes broadcast moment, which is a pretty great way to kick off a contact story. The rest of the teaser leans more on mood than plot specifics — fleeting images, ominous tone, and the suggestion that a global reveal is coming whether anyone wants it or not. It is secretive without feeling coy, which is a tricky line to walk.
Oh, and if you are wondering where this came from, the initial report on the teaser and title popped up via Brandon Schreur at SuperHeroHype. The actual footage is out now — you will find it on the usual studio channels.
